Thanks for this. There are no perfect solutions in this world, and you’re right–it’s something. Maybe I can use what influence I have in this role to set up the next generation of tech workers to do better than we did.

The deep cut has formed into a rift. I’m almost completely burned on the notion of doing any good in this world with my tech skills. I’m applying to work at a university now, which at least is a bit more of a public service. But it still is selling the next generation on corpo tech, and credentialism.

I’m not sure my money work can ever really be a net good.

I think we all project but just lie to ourselves about it. Maybe I’m projecting though too

We don’t let individuals own nuclear weapons. We shouldn’t allow individuals to wield financial weapons.

What part of this is hot

Eh if the behaviour is changing then I think it’s normal and good that the associated unit tests should also change.

Obviously you can get annoying with unit tests, but if they’re tiny and fast, and trivial to update then I like them as a truth check that the behaviour is changing as I expect.

Well yeah, I suppose. But humanity isn’t going to disappear in time to make a positive impact.

Humanity needs to be better. It’s not going anywhere, though.

Right they hate these straw people. I mean, I;m not going to say my own cognitive projection of “conservative” is 100% accurate, but at least my nightmare scenarios are about actual bad things happening, and not like conservative nightmares of genetically inferior people getting to enjoy the gifts of civilization.

So… huh, so what’s the alternative then? I guess some other flavour of linux?

What?? I was not. I thought it was compatible, or like a fork idk… Guess I’ve got some reading to do.

I’m checking out Graphene OS next week and pretty pumped about it. This Google ratfucking has been just the push I need to get off Android.

And obviously I haven’t stopped telling people around me haha

Do people not even Emmet anymore?? Tsk…

Real? This is news to me!

Yeah now it’s like let’s watch how exactly rich people are trying to make the future suck for me and it doesn’t even work, and even if it did it wouldn’t make our lives any better

I understand that distinction, thus proving your point ig

So Anti/Christ is like Heel/Face in pro wrestling

why do so many end times Christians view end times prophecies like the Antichrist or the Mark of the Beast as things to be prevented or avoided?

wasn’t raised Christian, but this kind of dissonance is what made me 1) question the faith of so-called believers around me, and 2) question the validity of my own faith / the teachings.

When it comes to most hardline religious people, If they really believed the teachings they claimed are true, they would behave in a completely different manner.

To live in literal accordance with most conservative religious teachings you basically have to act like an unhinged crazy person.

Rofl. Is everyone in the right wing trying to get in on distracting from the Epstein Files (and the fact he didn’t kill himself)? Is that how shithawks try to impress their leaders now?

I said it was tenuous.
